Craniosacral Therapy and Traumatic Brain Injury: Improvements in Memory, Cognition and Sleep.
Ten sessions of specific Cranio-sacral therapy resulted in a statistically greater reduction in pain intensity, and greater improvements in mechanical ROM, memory, physical reaction time, and duration of sleep in patients with post-concussion up to 3 months after the intervention. In a study conducted in 2014 and 2015, a team of physical therapists, osteopaths, and allied health professionals discovered that specific manual therapy techniques applied to patients with post-concussive syndrome provided significant results for future concussion recovery...
The patients in this study were retired professional football players from both the National Football League (NFL) and the Canadian Football League who were medically diagnosed with post-concussion syndrome. These initial outcomes were inspiring and showed real promise for viable treatment options for traumatic brain injury (TBI), concussion, and the secondary compensatory dysfunctions that occur in the days following TBI.
This case series report describes the effects of Craniosacral Therapy (CST), Visceral Manipulation (VM), and Neural Manipulation (NM) modalities for treating patients who have post-concussion syndrome.
The goal of this study was to evaluate these effects on immobility, pain intensity, quality of life, sleep disorders, and cognition in these patients. Statistically significant differences were seen during CST treatment, patients had a decrease in overall pain rating scale scores, as well as cervicogenic pain levels. There were statistically significant increases in Dynavision Average Reaction Time, memory test scores, and cervical ROM scores.
Hours of sleep averaged 2 hours on the first day of treatment and increased to 4.0 hours at the end of treatment and were continuing to increase, as noted at a 3-month evaluation.
Therefore, with ten sessions of specific Craniosacral Therapy (CST), Visceral Manipulation (VM), and Neural Manipulation (NM) therapy resulted in statistically greater improvements in pain intensity, ROM, memory, cognition, and sleep in concussed patients.
